It’s week 700 so I want to do something cool for you. But it’s also a holiday so I want to be lazy. So instead of trying to explain the ratio referred to in this song’s title, I’m going to let this video do it for me:
What makes this a beautiful song:
1. Although it sounds like only two instruments (keys and a trumpet) there’s actually a guitar hiding in there too if you listen for it.
2. By the end, the trumpet is being played so gently that it’s not even a note anymore, just air passing through a tube.
3. The song’s “Golden Ratio moment” – 72 seconds into its 117 second length, is where the trumpet hits its highest note.
Recommended listening activity:
Having some pineapple. Or broccoli. Or any other edible plant that arranges itself in a Fibonacci-type of way.
